Are bloggers and podcasters press Voyages in Eternity
Bloggers
The modern blog evolved from the online diary, where people would keep a running account of their personal lives. Most such writers called themselves diarists, journalists, or journalers. A few called themselves “escribitionists”. The Open Pages webring included members of the online-journal community. Justin Hall, who began eleven years of personal blogging in 1994 while a student at Swarthmore College, is generally recognized as one of the earliest bloggers, as is Jerry Pournelle. Dave Winer’s Scripting News is also credited with being one of the oldest and longest running weblogs . Another early blog was Wearable Wireless Webcam, an online shared diary of a person’s personal life combining text, video, and pictures transmitted live from a wearable computer and EyeTap device to a web site in 1994. This practice of semi-automated blogging with live video together with text was referred to as sousveillance, and such journals were also used as evidence in legal matters.
Other forms of journals kept online also existed. A notable example was game programmer John Carmack’s widely read journal, published via the finger protocol. Some of the very earliest bloggers, like Steve Gibson of sCary’s Quakeholio (now Shacknews) and Stephen Heaslip of Blue’s News (still running since 1995 with online archives back to July 1996), evolved from the Quake scene and Carmack’s .plan updates. Steve Gibson was hired to blog full-time by Ritual Entertainment on February 8, 1997 , possibly making him the first hired blogger.
